Typically, when you develop with ASP.NET you have the luxury of IIS Express taking care of SSL and hosting, however IIS and IIS Express are exclusive to the Windows platform. ASP.NET Core 1.0 has decoupled the web server from the environment that hosts the application. This is great news for cross-platform developers since web servers other than IIS such as Apache and Nginx may be set up on Linux and Mac machines.

This tutorial involves using Nginx as the web server to host a dockerized .NET Core web application with SSL Termination on a Ubuntu machine. In this three-part tutorial, I'll guide you in:

Part I (This post) - 1. Creating and publishing an ASP.NET Core web app using the new dotnet CLI tools and 2. Installing and configuring PuTTY so we may SSH and transfer files with our Ubuntu machine

Part II - Setting up Docker and creating a Docker Image on Ubuntu 16.04

Part III - 1. Configuring
Nginx for SSL termination and 2. Building and Running the Docker Image.
